[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did conservatives only become outraged about the practice of bacha bazi after a Green Beret was discharged for assaulting an Afghan?  It's not like this has been a well-hidden secret.  There was a Frontline documentary broadcast on PBS back in 2010

and a WaPo article in 2012.

Where was the GOP on all this?  Aren't criminal human rights violations at least deserving of a Congressional investigation and hearing?  [/quote]

I am not a conservative. I am outraged because the situation here is that someone tried to stop this and was PUNISHED. We usually applaud people for saving children from child molestors. This is also the first time I am hearing that the US military allows this on their bases.

The main difference is that we always think America is on the side of being good, we send our soldiers to be sacrificed in this hellhole. And now we find out that the US military is morally bankrupt and put our soldiers in dispiriting situations that not only sap their morale, but also punishes the villagers we aim to "help".

I know there is evil in the world, I don't expect the US, supposed bearer of democracy, to condone it.[/quote]
